5. Economic Reports for Wednesday May 24, 2012
Hello Traders,
I think the leader of the markets these past few trading sessions, have been gold – an example is from today’s trading session when SP lows followed Gold lows by minutes…. Below you will see an hourly chart of the gold market with potential, very short term targets on both a continued bounce as well as in case the longer term down trend resumes.
Personally, I think gold will be trading between 1523 to 1625 for a while , which by itself is a very wide range if I am right and I have been wrong many times before.
When you feel the “heat of the markets” is affecting you and you are in a position, take a step back and ask yourself, “what would I do if I was not in a position currently…”? the answer should help you manage your current position while in a trade.
Hourly chart of Gold Futures below for your review:
